The thing that sadden me most about this whole sorry saga is that when an MP is caught “flipping” his/her homes so as to gain a financial advantage, they firstly refuse to apologise saying that it is all well within the allowed rules (stuff morality eh?) and then eventually, and with as much bad grace as possible – they offer to pay the money back…[Read more]

The rule is that you can only waffle on locked threads – problem is that we can’t think of a way to enforce this rule.

Maybe this is a bit too obvious …… but why not continue using Internet Explorer for your chatroom etc experience?

You were very lucky that he didn’t charge you with “being in possession of breasts in a public place with intent to cause a breach of the peace” or perhaps (if it was a male collector) “being in possession of an offensive weapon”.

Anyway you were lucky it wasn’t a collection for Altzheimer’s …….. “Please give generously for …….erm…[Read more]

Quite right too. The plain fact is that if you speak very loudly and slowly and wave your arms around a bit … “foreigners” invariably understand you. There is absolutely no need to mess…[Read more]

Sorry people but I simply don’t accept all this stuff about driving along watching the speedometer in case a camera gets you and thereby putting yourself at higher risk of an accident. What a facile argument.

The plain fact is that if you drive a vehicle on a public road, you have…[Read more]

I’ve never eaten “tead” …… what does it taste like???

I love the irony!!!

Being in touch with a bunch of misguided new-age climate change fascists does not compensate for having poor literacy & numeracy skills in the real world.

Great idea Bas …….. if you could find a property developer stupid enough to want to build new houses right now.

Britain’s biggest housebuilder, Taylor-Wimpey, has just started building 70 new homes in my town. But it’s probably a ‘what the heck’ situation as they are on the verge of going bust!

You’re possibly correct…[Read more]

Yes it’s pretty ironic (the Serco boss getting pinged for speeding).

I recall that the last time we ‘did’ global warming on here, I made a few unfortunate remarks about fat cows farting etc …… and got myself into a lot of trouble as a result.

You will therefore understand why I am being a bit quiet on this thread – but I’m really really tempted !!!

I know that the thingy you insert onto your website is called a “hyperlink” Cat but HTML (or similar) programming isn’t in my skillset I’m afraid. Sorry.
